! @cindex calculations, in tables
!
! While the Org-mode table editor misses many features of a full
! spreadsheet, it nevertheless has very useful capabilities to compute
! fields. In horizontal direction, it can use complex expressions to
! compute a field from other fields @emph{in the same row}, using named
! columns, constants and parameters. The Emacs @file{calc} package is
! required for this feature to work. In vertical direction, only
! summing is supported.

!
! @node Formula syntax, Applying a formula, Table calculations, Table
calculations
! @subsection Formula syntax
!
! A formula for horizontal computations can be any algebraic expression
! understood by the Emacs @file{calc} package. Before evaluation,
! variable substitution takes place: @samp{$} is replaced by the field
! the cursor is currently in, and $1..$n reference the fields in the
! current row. @samp{$name} is interpreted as the name of a column,
! parameter or constant. Constants are defined globally through the
! variable @code{org-table-formula-constants}. If you have the
! @file{constants.el} package, it will also be used to resolve
! constants, including natural constants like @samp{$k} for Plancks
! constant, units like @samp{$km} for kilometers. Column names and
! parameters can be specified in special table lines. These are
! described below, see @ref{Recalculation}.
!
! A formula can contain an optional mode string after a semicolon. This
! string consists of flags to influence calc's address@hidden
! default, Org-mode uses the standard calc modes (precision 12, angular
! units degrees, fraction and symbolic modes off). However, the display
! format which has been changed to @code{(float 5)} to keep tables
! compact. The default settings can be configured using the variable
! @code{org-calc-default-modes}.} during execution, e.g. @samp{p20} to
! switch the internal precision to 20 digits, @samp{n3}, @samp{s3},
! @samp{e2} or @samp{f4} to switch to normal, scientific, engineering,
! or fix display format, respectively, and @samp{D}, @samp{R}, @samp{F},
! and @samp{S} to turn on degrees, radians, fraction and symbolic modes,
! respectively. In addition, you may provide a @code{printf} specifier
! to reformat the final result. A few examples:
! @example
! $1+$2 @r{Sum of first and second field}
! $1+$2;%.2f @r{Same, format result to two decimals}
! exp($2)+exp($1) @r{Math functions can be used}
! $;%.1f @r{Reformat current cell to 1 decimal}
! ($3-32)*5/9 @r{degrees F -> C conversion}
! $c/$1/$cm @r{Hz -> cm conversion, using @file{constants.el}}
! tan($1);Dp3s1 @r{compute in degrees, precision 3, display SCI 1}
! vmean($2..$7) @r{compute column range mean, using vector function}
! taylor($3,x=7,2) @r{taylor series of $3, at x=7, second degree}
! @end example
!
! @node Applying a formula, Recalculation, Formula syntax, Table calculations
! @subsection Applying a formula
!
! To apply a formula to a field, type it directly into the field,
! preceded by an equal sign, like @samp{=$1+$2}. When you press
! @key{TAB} or @key{RET} or @kbd{C-c C-c} with the cursor still in the
! field, the formula will be evaluated and replaced with the result. If
! the field contains only @samp{=}, the formula most recently applied
! anywhere in the @emph{same column} will be used.
!
! For each column, Org-mode will remember the most recently used
! formula. The information is stored in a special line directly below
! the table. When adding/deleting/moving columns with the appropriate
! commands, the stored equations will be modified accordingly. When a
! column used in a calculation is removed, references to this column
! become invalid and will cause an error upon applying the equation.
!
! Instead of typing an equation into the field, you may also use the
! command @kbd{C-c =}. It prompts for a formula (with default taken
! from the @samp{#+TBLFM:} line) and applies it to the current field.
! If you use a prefix argument (i.e. @kbd{C-u C-c =}), the formula will
! be applied to the current field and down to the next separator line
! or the end of the table. A numerical prefix will apply it to that
! many fields in the current column.
!
! When the evaluation of a formula leads to an error, the field content
! becomes the string @samp{#ERROR}. If you would like see what is going
! on during variable substitution and calculation in order to find a
! bug, turn on formula debugging in the menu and repeat the calculation
! by pressing, for example by pressing @kbd{C-c = @key{RET}} in a field.
! Detailed information will be displayed.
!
! @node Recalculation, Summing, Applying a formula, Table calculations
! @subsection Recalculation
!
! To recompute all the fields in a line, use the command @kbd{C-c *}.
! It re-applies all stored equations to the current row, from left to
! right. With a @kbd{C-u} prefix, this will be done to every line in
! the table, so use this command it you want to make sure the entire
! table is up-to-date. A more automatic way of recalculating the
! current line requires marking the line: If the first column of a row
! contains only @samp{#}, the row will be re-computed with every
! @key{TAB}, @key{RET}, and @kbd{C-c C-c} in this row. Here is an
! example of a table that collects exam results of students, with some
! rows activated for semi-automatic computations.
!
! @example
! @group
! |---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
! | | Student | Prob 1 | Prob 2 | Prob 3 | Total | Note |
! |---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
! | ! | | P1 | P2 | P3 | Tot | |
! | # | Maximum | 10 | 15 | 25 | 50 | 10.0 |
! |---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
! | # | Peter | 10 | 8 | 23 | 41 | 8.2 |
! | # | Sara | 7 | 14 | 19 | 40 | 8.0 |
! | # | Sam | 2 | 4 | 3 | 9 | 1.8 |
! |---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
! | $ | max=50 | | | | | |
! |---+---------+--------+--------+--------+-------+------|
! #+TBLFM: $6=vsum($P1..$P3)::$7=10*$Tot/$max;%.1f
! @end group
! @end example
! @noindent
! The example also demonstrates a number of convenience features:
! @enumerate
! @item
! If the first field of a row contains only @samp{!}, this row defines
! @emph{names} for the different columns so that you can write
! @samp{$Tot} instead of @samp{$6} --- useful in larger tables,
! when counting columns becomes error prone.
! @item
! If the first field of a row contains only @samp{$}, fields in this row
! can define @emph{parameters} for formulas. For example, if a field in
! a @samp{$} row contains @samp{max=50}, then formulas in this table can
! refer to the value 50 using @samp{$max}. Parameters work exactly like
! constants, only that they can be defined on a per-table basis.
! Changing a parameter and then recalculating the table can be useful
! and fun.
! @item
! A column range @samp{$P1..$P3} is expanded to a vector, so that calc's
! vector functions (in this case @samp{vsum}, but there are many more)
! can be applied to ranges. For a range, columns may be referenced by
! name or number, in either sequence.
! @end enumerate
!
! @noindent If a table contains any line with @samp{#} as the
! first field, @kbd{C-u C-c *} will only change the marked lines and
! leave all unmarked lines alone. You can also mark a line with
! @samp{*}. These lines will also be recalculated with @kbd{C-u C-c *},
! but not upon @key{TAB} and @key{RET}. Use this for lines which are
! slow to calculate.
!
! Just to wet your appetite on what can be done with the fantastic
! @file{calc} package, here is a table that computes the Taylor series
! for a couple of functions (homework: try that with Excel :-)
!
! @example
! @group
! |---+-------------+---+-----+--------------------------------------|
! | | Func | n | x | Result |
! |---+-------------+---+-----+--------------------------------------|
! | # | exp(x) | 1 | x | 1 + x |

! | # | x^2+sqrt(x) | 2 | x=0 | x*(0.5 / 0) + x^2 (2 - 0.25 / 0) / 2 |
! | # | x^2+sqrt(x) | 2 | x=1 | 2 + 2.5 x - 2.5 + 0.875 (x - 1)^2 |
! | * | tan(x) | 3 | x | 0.0175 x + 1.77e-6 x^3 |

!
! @node Summing, , Recalculation, Table calculations
! @subsection Summing
!
! Finally, when typing a formula into a field, a number of special
! keywords execute predefined sums over the current row or column and
! enter the result into the current field. These calculations are
! one-off, the formula is not stored, and you will neet to re-enter it
! in order to compute again.
!
! @example
! = @r{Execute the stored formula valid in this column.}
! =sum @r{Sum all fields above the current (alias @code{=sumv}).}
! =sumh @r{Sum all fields to the left of the current field.}

- might want to use it also in other modes like text-mode or mail-mode.
- The minor mode Orgtbl-mode makes this possible. You can always toggle
